Thread: Tampa Cap-Crunch solved
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>toddbertuzzi44</b></div><div>yeah they won't get the same value if they weren't against the cap but when your trading good players on fair value contracts that are locked up for 3-5 years your gonna get way more back then in say a Jeff skinner trade last year where he had one year left till UFA and that trade was just really bad for Carolina. Same thing with Grubauer he had one year till he was UFA. Plus Tampa doesn't really have any cap dump besides Callahan and they could move that for a pretty reasonable price, theres a lot of rebuilding teams that want to get the most value out of there cap space.</div></div>

I'm not the Lightning's general manager, an NHL pro-scout, or Killorn's agent. These are meant to be possible trades to relieve cap for picks. I feel they could get at least that much back for each player. No sense in losing a pick to dump Cally's contract when there's only one year left. He's a good 4th liner and playoff leader anyway. Plus if the Lightning were to only dump Cally, then they'd be in an actual cap-hell next season when Cirelli, Vassy, Sergy, Joseph, and Cernak will all be looking for a raise.
